The protagonist of today's story is Qaidam, known as the "cornucopia" due to its rich mineral resources, and one of the four major basins in China.
After watching the documentary "Qaidam: Farewell, Super Lake" jointly produced by BYD and the Planet Research Institute, the magnificent scenery of Qaidam is amazing, and follow the equation Leopard Leopard 5 into Qaidam from the first perspective to understand its "past and present life" together.
Qaidam was once a huge lake, more than 10 times the size of today's Qinghai Lake, a super lake that once brought the land to life. However, over time, due to strong crustal movements and climatic reasons, the earth's crust was uplifted, the sea water receded, and the Qaidam Basin was uplifted into land and turned into a desolate land.
Despite this, it has been found that Qaidam is rich in mineral resources, and 83% of China's lithium salt is in Qaidam, which is a key raw material for the new energy industry to make lithium batteries. Combined with the abundant lithium chloride resources of Qinghai Salt Lake and the power of science and technology, BYD has developed battery-grade lithium carbonate products with independent intellectual property rights. The research and development of this product has enabled BYD to have a complete lithium industry cluster in Qaidam. Qaidam is now a super energy base, with numerous fixers and photovoltaic panels that convert solar energy into electricity and protect the basin's vegetation from water evaporation, thereby improving the ecological environment.
In 2008, BYD took the lead in putting forward the three green dreams of solar energy, energy storage power stations and electric vehicles, and BYD, as a global leader in green energy, has been adhering to the brand vision of "cooling the earth 1".
At present, sustainable development has become a common goal for mankind, and with BYD's continuous efforts, we see the hope of sustainable development. As a socially responsible enterprise, BYD adheres to the concept of people-oriented and green development, and uses innovative technology to promote global green transformation and development
